As someone who’s self employed and was left high and dry by Tory Govt without financial support (as were 3.5 million small biz owners, self employed and freelancers) when COVID hit this BS by Badenoch makes my blood boil Over 20 out of 3.5 million #ExcludedUK committed suicide through despair❗️🤬🤬

Tory £6bn inheritance tax cut plan Increase threshold from £1m per couple to £2m+home. In 2024-25, 30,400 estates paid IHT, may rise to 52,100 in 2029-30. IHT cut for the richest, paid by cutting benefits for old, sick, disabled, unemployed. How will it help economic growth, reindustrialization?

Listening to #KemiBadenoch #CPC26 on #@LBC. The shallowness of what she says shines through her ultra confidence. The amnesia she suffers from 14 yrs of Tory Govt is stark. Is she is the best that Party can do then their talent pot is empty!!

Tories to hand free childcare to those earning more than £100,000, would cost £700m to the public purse. Previously, they pledged cuts to universal credit, housing benefit, support for the long term unemployed. Continuation of the Tory war on less well-off.

Cutting jobs at the Environment Agency after a summer of wildfires. Which would never raise the £700m Kemi claims. How much do the Tories think EA staff get paid? All to subsidise childcare for six figure earners. Utterly delusional

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Companies pay employer national insurance (ENI) on director pay. Partners in limited liability partnerships (LLPs) share profit, instead of salary. LLPs don't pay ENI on that. £150k ENI for every £1m of profit shared is avoided. Big four law firms alone avoided paying £4bn. Must end this perk.
